INTRODUCTIONGames and different toys are used by all the children in their early childhood which helpsto develop brain and activate it. Toys helps to enhance ability of kids to imagine and developnew ideas. With the help of creative toys physical and mental strength of kids could be enhanced.Apart from this other skills such as social, cognitive and emotional could be formed. Whilebuying a toy it is very important for parents and other individuals who are handling kids to makesure that they are highly secured (Virtič and Šorgo, 2016). This assignment is based uponperforming the role of teacher in which an individual will handle kids of a specific age group i.e.5 to 7. For this purpose different activities will be performed which are analysing specification,standards, constraints, use of compare and contrast matrix, science, design, technology andmathematics description of kids. Along with this, description and evidence to activity,identification of new knowledge are also covered under this assignment. The purpose of toys is not only meant for enjoyment of children but in addition to this, itis also important for the toys to make sure about their mental growth and development. Childrenmust get something by making use of those toys so that it could help them in develop somelearning. Not only mental growth and development is made possible with the help of toys, butthey are also made curious about learning new things as changes in their behaviour is also madeat this stage of their age. In this stage, children are more attracted towards the things which looksattractive and good. So it is necessary to adopt those practises of learning which not only createstheir interest but also makes them able to learn new things as well. Every toy is not of all agelevels but their design are made keeping in mind the age criteria of children as well. Thestudying environment provided in the way which will best suit to their needs and wants andprovide them with effective learning processes. STEM is focused on improving the knowledge ofstudents in different aspects as such the use of Information and Technology, development ofskills such as creativity, curiosity, critical thinking skills and many more which will help in theirphysical, social and mental development important for an individual's growth. This increases theinvolvement of toys in learning and teaching processes with the help of which their future couldbe provided a shape along with their growth and development. The focus on the need andimportance of teachers on considering and evaluating their teaching ways should also be made. 1
MAIN BODYAnalysis of Specifications, Standards and Constraints in the Design of ToysSafe of Toys: It is important to make toys with respect to the age suitability of childrenthat could not provide them harm and does not contain any type of risks for them. Asthere are some toys that could provide harm in case they are not handled properly(Campbell, Jobling and Howitt, 2018). Making Choice of Toys: for example, some toys may contain with sharpen edge andcould harm hands or body of child. So this also makes important to make proper choiceof toys as they are for enjoyment not for harming them. Size of Toys: The size should also relate to age of children so that they could handle themand make proper use. Neither it should be too small nor too large. Safe Battery Room: The toys which are being operated with the help of batteries must beenclosed with screws and nuts so that they could not open it and harm themselves. Materials to be Used: It is also important point to consider upon about the use ofmaterials and contents to be used in the making of toys depending upon the age group ofdifferent children. By keeping their age group into mind, it will be possible to make goodtoys for them along with meeting all the requirements. Comparison and Contrasting MatrixIn this part, the comparison will be made in between two toys with the help of whichimprovement will be made in their learning processes. This will make good about their physical,social and mental development (Martín Ruiz and et. al., 2015). The two toys which are chosenare Hydraulic Machine Kit and the Volcanic Eruption. The following two toys have their owncharacteristics and help which it will provide to children in improving their knowledge andcuriosity related to learning and development.
